夕ゆう暮ぐれ族ぞく

noun

May-December romance; couple with older man and younger woman

A somewhat dated term for a romantic relationship between an older man and a younger woman, often implying a significant age gap. The word evokes the image of twilight (夕暮れ) suggesting the later stage of life for the man.

• あの二人ふたりは夕ゆう暮ぐれ族ぞくだと言いわれている。

  They say those two are a May-December couple.
